County Council (Continued from page 1) The committee recommended that no action be taken on a resolution government to amend the Mothers' Allowantes Act so that instead of the counties it dealt with the several municipalities of the counties, The County of Oxford forwarded a resolution asking that a clause be struck out in the Highways Improve- ment Act which compels County Councils to engage graduates in civil engineering, and to restore the mean- ing of the original act, which allows County Councils to engage any com- petent person to act as county road superintendent, subject to the ap- proval of the department. The com- mittee recommended that no action he taken. No Grant for Automobiles The Finance Committee recom- mended that no action be taken with regard to a request of Inspector Elliott of the Children's Aid Society for a grant of $500 towards buying an automobile. Council unanimous- ly took the view that Mr, Elliott had no right to purchase such an expensive car while a cheaper car would have served just as well, and then come to the county for a grant. Council thought that a Ford car would have served Mr. Elliott in his work. The car he now has is a McLaughlin Master Four. Road and Bridge Repairs Recommendations adopted lengthy report presented by Roads and Bridges Committee cluded the following: The construction of two culverts opposite the 10th and 11th conces- sion, Brock Township, under the supervision of the county road super- intendent, half of the cost to be charged to York County.

That a culvert on the boundary line between Ontario and York coun- ties, opposite the township of Ux- bridge, opposite lot 9, be repaired with a steel culvert. Confidence in Engineer Warden Richardson reported in the afternoon that efforts to obtain an engineer from the Department of Highways to inspect and report on the condition of the Beaverton Bridge, said to be unsafe for traffic, had failed, but that one would be down next week and his report could be presented at the adjourned ses- sion, Several Councillors raised objec- tion to the engaging of 'an outside mn rap "apdog intuwo!

The general opinion was that the county had one of the most competent engineers in the province. It was explained by Reeve Morris, Oshawa, that one reason an outside engineer had been suggested was that it might meet with the approval of the county engineer, and that it might be better to get outside ad- vice so that it could not be charged that a biased report had been pre- pared. Deputy-Reeve | warned the Council that the bridge | was now unsafe for traffic and that | the county was liable for heavy dam- ages if any accident occurred. The report of the engineer on the bridge will be dealt with at the ad- journed session. The bridge is one of the largest in the county and car- ries a very heavy traffic in the north- ern section. Thank Harbor Commission Council unanimously passed a re- solution presented by Reeve Geo. Morris, of Oshawa, expressing ap- preciation of the Toronto Harbor Commission in inviting Council to be their guests Friday afternoon, The resolution set forth that the trip had been an educative and most en- joyable one, and had been arranged through the kindness and thought- fulness of Warden Richardson, to whom the thanks of the Council was due. A copy of the resolution was ordered to be sent to the secretary of the Harbor Commission. Council Seeks New Powers The Committee on Legislation and Memorials recommended that the Ontario Government be petitioned to amend the Highways Improve- ment Act, making it permissible for County Councils to pass by-laws for the issue of debentures for payment of permanent construction on high- ways by a two-thirds vote of the Coun¢il, instead of advertising said by-laws for one month as at pre- sent. As the law now stands, On- tario County Council, for instance, decides at the June session each year to issue debentures for permanent bridges and culverts, and it is ne- cessary to hold an adjourned session one month later, at considerable ex- pense to the county, after the by- laws have been advertised. Storm Did Slight Damage to Wires Very little damage was reported following the heavy windstorm late Sunday night and yesterday. minor troubles were experienced by the Hydro Electric Power Service and the Bell Telephone Company. Two Hydro lines were severed be- cause of falling branches from trees, but the damage was mot of a suffi- cient nature as to cause any inter- ruption in the service. The Bell Teleph Company's troubl were also of a minor nature, many of which might occur under ordinary circumstances. The storm was ap- parently at its worst at the lake where it is said planks and other Mason, Oshawa, s articles were carried short distances Tenth Anniversary (Continued from page 1) Foster, The anthem was given with pleasing effect, a quartette composed of Mrs. Farrow, Mrs. Foster, Mr. E. Luke and Mr. F. Hoehn, taking the leading part. Difference in Religion Dr. Patterson, in her morning ad- Iress, endeavored to show what Christianity had done for our nation 'We have so many blessings bestow- ed upon us that we are liable to take them in a matter of course way, for- getting from whom they come," she said, and proceeded to relate some incidents and customs which might he seen in India, where there was no Christian religion to speak of. Dr. Patterson spoke from experience, having been laboring as a missionary in that country for a period of ten vears. While living under the same law and same flag as we are, she stated, there was considerable dif- ference in the lives of the people. Difference in religion makes a dif- ference in social and moral standing. she reclared. Lifelong Prisoners The women of India were practic- ally lifelong prisoners. - The poorer class of women, who were obliged to work, had the privilege of going out to the fields, but the women belong- ing to the higher rank were never allowed to look out from a window, and must never be seen except by Only | they did they were considered to be disgraced, would be divorced and turned out into the streets. A feel- |ing of dread would hang over their heads for the rest of their lives. A child was sometimes forced to marry when very young, and if her husband died she wou'd be a widow all her life. "Education without Christ will not better conditions very much," Dr. Patterson averred. She told of one woman who had been divorced and taken to misson school where she received training and became a stu- dent of the gospel. She is to-day working as a home missionary. Not Naturally Cruel The Hindus are not naturally cruel persons, but it is their religion that has taught them to be cruel, just as our religion has taught us to be kind. Their religion has the reverse teach- ing to ours," the speaker continued. "It is the gospel message that will make their position in life what it ought to be. The gospel was given to us, not to keep, but to pass on to others." Dr. Patterson's talk to the Sunday School scholars was also interesting, the point emphaized being that where there was a good leader, every one worked well, Rev. A. M. Irwin took for his address in the evening, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways." He dealt with tre subject from two angles, first that they were in need of cleansing, and secondly that a young man was 1l- ways looking forward to something members of their own household.

Man Arrested (Continued from page one) that condition was hardly the way to keep the Sabbath Day, and warned him to leave it alone if it was going to injure his family affairs. Accused claimed his wife had an awful tem- per, but the way His Worship looked at it was, his wife got to the 'mop first. Garrow replied that she was younger than he was. ALWAYS WITH US Hamilton Hearld: By the trucu- lent remarks of Leader Riley, of the veteran marchers to Ottawa, it is easy to see he is a worthy successor of the once familiar Harry Flynn; for his actions savor far more of im- pulsiveness than discretion. In one form or another the Irish problem is always with us. by the wind,
